Incredible video game art exhibition at the V&A, in pictures

The exhibition, curated by Marie Foulston and Kristian Volsing as part of the V&A’s Design, Architecture and Digital department, will showcase blockbuster video games alongside independent works and games of cultural and social importance. Perhaps unusually for an exhibition of this type, Design/Play/Disrupt will not be looking at the historical evolution of gaming, but will instead focus on its design, variety and impact since the mid-2000s.

Highlights of the exhibition include concepts from thatgamecompany’s Journey, an emotional and visually striking co-operative adventure across abandoned sand dunes. Pictured is early artwork of the cloaked player-character.
